the crime there is that you are forcing by law, by power of government to do something that goes against the moral teachings of your faith and what we call against your conscience, but you know, there's even a more serious violation more heinous going on. and it's one that this particular crime is premised on because you will recall that barack obama at notre dame and the now infamous commencement speech promised the catholics nationally that catholic health care worker rights would be protected. he specifically said it. so what did he do to prove that he kept his promise? he defined a catholic institution as one that serves only catholics. so what kind of catholic institution got an exclusion? know? that i know of unless it's a monastery full of nuns and nobody else. if they got a cook or gardener or someone working the horses and not catholic, they're out. now, what is -- why do i call that a more heinous crime? think about it. think about it in your own hospitals. your own soup kitchens and your own retirement homes and your own children's summer programs, disadvantaged and poor. why
